intro: A G#m x4
E Emaj7 E6 Emaj7 A B
and though they were sad they rescued everyone
A B A B A B E
they lifted up the sun / a spoonful weighs a ton
giving more than they had / the process had begun
a million came from one / the limits now were none
B A E
being drunk on their plan, they lifted up the suuuuun
then this riff comes in:
e----------------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------------
G-/8\6/8\6-------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------
A---------------7)-----------------------------------------------------
E-(bass):--5--(7-------------------------------------------------------
x8, and starting on the fourth time, Asus2 A6sus2
on the last time, the bass plays:
G----------------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------5-5-7---------------------------------------------------
E--5-5-7-7-8-8---------------------------------------------------------
forcing it off with their hands, the trap door came undone
above our heads it swung / the privilege had been won
being drunk on their plan, they lifted up the sun
then this riff again:
e----------------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------------
G-/8\6/8\6-------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------
A---------------7)-----------------------------------------------------
E-(bass):--5--(7-------------------------------------------------------

on the last time, the bass plays:
G----------------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------5-5-7---------------------------------------------------
E--5-5-7-7-8-8---------------------------------------------------------
yelling as hard as they can, the doubters all were stunned
heard louder than a gun / the sound they made was love
